I have been all over Mississippi and can not find any 22 cal LR ammo . I need a brick of them . Do any of you guy's got any ideas where I can cop a brick ?
Thanks
-
Kinda skinny around here too.. I hope you are on a few waiting lists..
If you were local I'd give ya a couple hundred rds..
-
There is no waiting list . I ask . What get's me they had all the ammo you want in 222 that I have no use for .
-
There are waiting and contact lists for mail order ammo distributors..
When it comes in stock, they send an E/mail.. Act fast..
LOL, yeah, most people with the experience and discernment, who
decide to own and shoot a .222, often reload their own ammo..
-
yeah there is none up my way either, and if you DO HAPPEN to find it, its ridiculously expensive. was talking to a guy at a sporting goods store a bit back and there gunsmith stopped by a couple shops on his way back from up north and he only found a single brick which was $100. as soon as it hits the shelves its gone here
-
I use to reload my shotgun AA hulls back when I shot trap all the time , Had too . We shot around 400 rounds a weekend ever weekend and I still have about 10 cases of 12 gauge shells but my brick of 22 ammo is about gone but I have had it around 5 years .
I was going to buy a AR-15 in a 22 cal but can't get ammo for it so I guess I will have to by it in a 222 cal . I did not really want a 222 for I have a 223 that I love but I shoot my 270 the most that no one has ammo ether .
I looked online and Basspro shop suppose to have 22 ammo in Memphis . I well call them today and find out . Thats if there open .
-
who would ever think the lil 22 would scarce :( I can remember when box of 50 was .99 cents on sale :x
is a sad time we are going through now.
i was at a pawn shop last month and they had 50 in a Ziploc bag for $14.00 :mad: these are the idiots who are getting them in bulk and raping the public.
-
cobia38 , you are right . When I went to sportsman warehouse yesterday they told me they had a one brick limit on ammo there now . That's a good thing . I think I paid like 10 bucks for my last brick of 22 ammo .
EDIT: Is there a place online one can order ammo from ?
-
They are not idiots for stocking up last year..
MANY of us WARNED that this was going to happen.. :old:
It wasn't a lucky guess.. :angel:
But, we are all :noid, and hardly anyone listened..
Now here we are.. :bhead
-
Seems to me 22 ammo is really the only one hard to get .

In some instances .45 ACP is hard to obtain also.

Seriously - what's going on in the States? Used to, you could go to any Walmart and find your brand; whether it be Remington, Winchester, CCI, etc..
It's been a long time since I had the need to buy ammo..

http://ammoseek.com/ do a search for whatever ammo you want. They will break it down all the way to per round cost if you want.

It's a sad day when a guy can't find bullets for his 22. Gunpowder will be next :old:

Ammo
we could type out here the many many reasons ammo is becoming so scarce here....but the first one that does, will have overstepped, and meet the banhammer.

hahaha flench
Gunpowder will be next old
too late its already here, I have like 20 rounds left for my 300 mag, I have primers and bullets so I called gunshop and asked for IMR 4831 they replied with sold out. so I went online and seems as that powder is sold out or backorder. I cant believe that its this bad. :mad:

If you want to pay for solid gold .22s, sure why not.

We're starting to see .22 LR in Charlotte again, but mostly in 50 round boxes. It seems you have
a choice, subsonic fragmented rounds or super zippy 1600+fps expensive ones. Fortunately my brother
travels alot locally for his pool/spa work and has hooked me up nicely lately. I have about 1500 rounds
now, about 5 different types from 3 different brands :D
-
Not many years ago, we could buy 1,000 rounds of 7.62x39 for about $90....
These days, many sellers are asking $90 (or more) for 550 rounds of 22LR....
Eventually, the supply will catch up with the demand. In the meantime, take note of the price gougers and don't buy from them in the future.

i've got a few different brands of 22. for my 10-22, they'll all work. for moms walther.....it only seems to like cci minimags, and remington hv.

Free enterprise at it's best, a lot of suppliers are walking around with big grins on their faces. Like Widewing says remember who they are.

Problem is identifying where in the supply chain the price gouging takes place. The retailer may not be the one to blame.

Demand has far exceeded supply and manufacturing capability is the safest answer.

I'm surprised it is scarce all around. I work at a sporting goods store...normally bricks are off the shelves within an hour or two. The 50 rd packs last 3 days max. It is absolutely pathetic. I have had people admit they do not own a gun, but buy the ammo to sell. Just stupid.

they've seemed to keep a bit of "normalcy?" to their pricing. i've bought 45acp from them, at what i feel is decently low pricing.
overall, even back in the beginning of the year, when people were reporting absurd prices for pretty much everything....i was scoring 30-06, 308win, and 7.62x54r for some decently low prices.

My local shop has experienced non-gun owners buying 22 ammo to resell. He refuses to sell to them. Your management should do likewise. It'll sell quick enough.

Do they sell FPH ammo?
-
Man , I have been all the way to Memphis to Jackson MS in the past two day's and no one has the 22 cal . Was told the same thing Spike said . I did find some 130 grain rounds for my 270 for 20 bucks a box .
-
The story I got from the gun-guy at my local Big-R is that the EPA published a rule (6H, I believe) back in 2011 banning use of certain heavy metals, which happen to be used in rimfire primers. This put a crimp in 22 LR production. Don't know how much truth there is to this, but 6H does exist.

.22 rimfire is in short supply, but most other calibers, can be found without any trouble.
My favorite online source is SGAmmo.
Need some 5.56/.223? They have plenty at reasonable prices. They have a decent, if not large selection of 9mm ammo (although they are currently out of 9mm ball).
Much of their pistol ammo is self defense types, such JHP. I bought 200 rounds of Starfire 125 grain JHP +P .38 special and 200 rounds of Hornady Critical Duty 135 grain 9mm. I now have enough ammo for the home, and enough to hit the range a few times as well. I load the .38 special in my Rossi .357, and the 9mm in my Marlin Camp 9.
They also have a huge selection of 12 gauge ammo, and I highly recommend Rio as a best buy in first rate shotgun ammo. I bought 100 rounds of 2 3/4" Rio Star (1410 FPS) 1.125 oz rifled slugs at $3.50 per box of 5. Excellent stuff, shoots as accurate as the big name US made ammo.

Thanks for the link Widewing .
I'm looking for some AA hull's too for reloading . I have a friend that's got a old wingmaster that I'm going to get .
I just don't see what the deal is on the 22 cal . Look's like it be the cheapest to make and easy to make as well ?
-
Personally I think the hold up is on one area. The spot between the factory and the retailers. Those are the folks extending the gouging in the country. They have made some money given the political situation in the last 6 years and this is a way to keep the goose laying the golden eggs. I have serious doubts the factories have raised their wholesale prices substantially to the distributors but those distributors are certainly raising theirs.
-
while we may not like it, it's pretty simple. supply/demand. right now, the demand is outrunning the supply, or the supply that the manufacturers can produce, so price is up.

I can't see that many people loading up or holding the ammo . I bet if you could find out how many are being made in a day just at one factory it blow your mind . Can't be that many being shot I wouldn't think it be more 222 cal being shot than 22 cal .

i forget if it was ammoland, or one of the other gun sites......they'd interviewed some people from different ammunition manufacturers. they seem to be mostly running 24/7 trying to keep up. is some of that demand people buying to resell at higher prices? of course. it's how money's made. i know quite a few that're hoarding their ammo. i know quite a few that're shooting more now than ever. given the current climate(for the last 6 or so years, and more so in the last year or so), it's pretty understandable that there's a shortage.....and it's gonna be quite awhile before it gets better.

I was at cabelas in hamburg pa a couple months ago. they had pretty much everything, except 22lr.
-
I was in Walmart the other day and no 22's, but they did have a little more shotgun variety other than the target stuff. They had a few boxes of 45acp, which I haven't scene in a while.

i got about 10 boxes of 45acp when i was up there, and 12 5.56, 10 .223. with the cleaning kit, and some other goodies, that was all my wallet said i could buy. i'm heading up that way again within the next month......

The walmart down here had every thing but the 22 cal .
-
Was at the gunshop yesterday, picked up some 9mms, 45s and 22lrs All were limited to 2 boxes max
He had bricks of 22s, but you had to purchase a 22 cal gun to be able to buy a brick.......kudos to him...hes doing it to keep people from overbuying, and or buying bricks to resell... :aok
-

What about a brick of 22 cal . In what ever weight it mite be , don't matter .

22 is so specialized that you would need about .5 mill to get tooled up to produce the ammo not to mention special circumstances with my property that would cost another .5 mill to get it up to standards to store the lead styphinate needed to fill the cases "rim". Not to mention hiring a chemist to make the stuff so add another .5 mill in equipment and another .5 mill to pay them. I don't currently have 2 mill to get you a .30 round. Good luck!
-
Brick = 500 but thanks anyway .
-
.30 = 30 cents
Most bricks are 525 rounds.
-
HAve not had a brick in 10 years mite be 600 for all I no . Poor squirrels will have to deal with number 4 shot I guess .

I'm not paying 15 dollars a box of 50 . That's what's wrong now . People paying that kind of price . Hellll I shoot my 270 before I do that . I can get a box for 20 buck's . Guess I sell my 22 looks like I well not need it no more . I well just shoot my shotgun and reload my own for a little of nothing . Plus I got around 20 cases of 12 gauge if not more being the old trap shooter I was .
-
Seems not too long ago I bought a box of 50 for about 2 or 3 dollars. I havent shot mine in a while so I had no idea they were getting hard to find :(

I reload my own .308 and 30-06 rounds and could produce a premium bullet with new cases and a 165 grain Nosler ballistic tip for .68 cents a piece. Of course, it has been eight years since I have bought any of the components, so things have definitely changed.
I have been in Europe since 2006 and haven't been in the market for rimfire ammo - with 2 exceptions of visiting my dad in NE Mississippi. And then, I was able to buy a box of CCI stingers (100) for $2.
Troubling times....

Thank I well get me a HR-17 . I can get ammo for it and it's not that different form my 22 to squirrel hunt with . I just don't like the loud pop it make's when it brakes the sound bearer .
